The main focus of this year's event is expected to be iOS 6, which Apple revealed last week will be unveiled at this year's conference in San Francisco. The next major update to Apple's mobile operating system will be available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

One of the biggest features of iOS 6 is expected to be a new Maps application built in to the software. The updated mapping solution is believed to replace data from Google with Apple's own software and data developed in-house.

Apple is also expected to provide updates to iCloud, its cloud-based service that launched late last year. Recent leaks have suggested that Apple plans to add Notes and Reminders as well as banner notifications to its iCloud website.

On the hardware front, Apple is also prepared to introduce a number of new Macs powered by Intel's latest Ivy Bridge processors. AppleInsiderlast week revealed a leaked list of part numbers that suggest the company will revamp nearly its entire Mac lineup.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has claimed that Apple will introduce a new MacBook series that it intends to replace the MacBook Pro brand by 2013. The new MacBook is expected to be thinner and lighter than the MacBook Pro, but will offer the same performance, without a built-in optical drive.

Recent rumors have also suggested that Apple will update its all-in-one iMac desktop, along with the high-end Mac Pro, with newer and faster hardware in the near future, likely at this week's WWDC.

This year's conference is also noteworthy because it is the first to be held since the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs late last year. At the 2011 WWDC keynote, Jobs helped to introduce iOS 5, OS X 10.7 Lion, and iCloud.

debunk all of the silly rumours and analyst claptrap
Listen to everyone whine and complain about how whatever Apple talks about and shows off is "not good enough" and "lame" and "where is the (insert silly feature here) @#$^*^*$!!!".

Do you have any idea of the amount of entitled whining we're going to have to deal with on the forums come Monday when Apple doesn't release a brand new model of every computer they sell, plus retina displays for all of them, plus a new AirPort family in 802.11ac, plus a Thunderbolt SuperDrive, plus iOS 6 with their own Maps and spoken, automatically updating turn-by-turn, plus Facebook integration, plus a new design for the OS, plus Siri for the iPad, plus an Apple TV development suite for regular developers (because they don't deserve it at all; it should go to content creators only), plus a brand new, never before seen app called "Organize" or some such, plus an iDisk replacement, plus a Gallery replacement, plus Mountain Lion "fixing" everything that was broken in Lion, plus Siri on OS X, plus voice dictation for writing documents, plus Maps for OS X, plus Aperture 4, plus iWork '12, plus iLife '12, PLUS...

Wow. 2012 and we can't get live steaming? No, we have to wait a week as Apple is to cheap to build enough servers or to paranoid to let you Download it so others can host it, Nope again, we have to wait and sit at least a week before the QuickTime hog allows us to actually see it!!!!!

Do they really think by keeping in Apples websit that we are going to browse the store? Great even more bandwidth used. I ussed to get to get excited back in the day, pre iPhone barking dogs, baby strollers and more than 90% of the customer base was in the entertainment biz and you could watch it in a few hours.
